Muon Detector: Day 1


Today Kensey, Emily, and I had an introduction to what we will be working on for the next 4 weeks.  We read up on some background information on our muon detector.  This all seemed a little fuzzy until Dr. Cummings and Dr. Rosenberry showed us the actual apparatus that we will be using.  Then, we got familiar with the oscillator.  We struggled at first to get any pulse to show on the oscillator but after some guidance from our advisors and a few minor adjustments we soon began to learn how to work it.  Overall, our little progress felt like a big accomplishment for the first day of research.
